I´m not sure how I ended up on here today.. Anyways, I´ve been meaning to say thank you. The times I´ve been really `lucky´, and the random bouts of strength and courage. I chalk that all up to you watching over me.
I´m a grow *** woman now! I have a great job, and I just bought a house! I couldn´t have done any of it without yo momma. She´s my saving grace. That woman is a saint for putting up with me all these years, LOL!
She misses you, and I know you miss her too. I want you to know how much I love her. She means the world to me.
I wish we could have spent more time together and just hung out. Our relationship would be so fun by now.
Keep watching over all of us, I love you xoxo.

So hard to believe it has been 21 years since I have heard your laugh and felt your hugs! Sting in the chapel yesterday for Tom´s funeral thinking about you too. When they played Amazing Grace.... Everyday I think of all the time we should have had together. You would have loved Tom he was a very special man and he would have loved meeting you! Jenny know that I miss you and I love you!

I still hear your voice calling me "woman". 19 years without you feels like yesterday and forever at the same time. Thought a lot about you while having Thanksgiving dinner at Jenn´s moms. I know you are so proud of both your brothers! Paityn is doing amazing too. Both Paityn and Ellie remind me of you. You would be so close to all the kids if you were here! I seem to be missing you more than ever, it never really gets easier.
Ooxxx
Love you Jenny!

Jenny this is the day you made the decision to stop your pain! I am so sorry you could not see any other way. I would have done anything to have helped you through what you were going through. Unfortunately we can't go back but you are no longer in pain . You are missed you are loved! I can still hear your laugh. And see your smile. Life had so much better for you if we just could have got you past that hopeless moment in time. I see you in your brothers , nieces and nephews! A part of you lives on in each of us.
I think of you everyday! You were a special young lady who touched many lives in your short time on this earth! We keep your memory alive never to be forgotten!
Love you forever!

They are tearing down the church where we took kick boxing classes. Made me sad. We did so much together and I miss you so much! So many of the places and things we knew are gone Jenny. I did get a new decal with your name on it. It looks great on the car but I would much rather have you back again. I think of you daily and we share memories of you at family events. We are still a close family Jenny. Family was so important to you and those precious kitties of yours.
love you Jenny!

Lighting a candle for you Jenny. Twelve years and it never gets easier just different. I was so proud of all you accomplished you were such a determined woman! You have three neices and two nephews now. Those boys are just like your brothers! You were such the buffer between them. You would be so proud of both of them. They work hard and are really great dads! Maggie is with you now. It was hard letting her go. Do you remmeber when you and Wava took her for a walk by the lake and she fell in and you were yelling "if I kill my mom's dog I won't hear the end of it". She loved you so much. I remember telling her you were coming over and she would wait by the door and cry for you! Charlie is still with us! He is so fat and won't even jump...a cat that won't jump. He is still a cuddler. He is the last of your kitties even Pochohontas is gone. I can't tell you how much I miss you and how I think of you every day! I just went through more of your boxes this summer and found things I had forgotten about and I actually gave some stuff away and I am wearing your skirt today and I have a bunch of your jams I might have made into a blanket. The rest I put back in the boxes. I can only do so much at a time. I still think I will find an answer in one of those boxes of why you left us! You are the only one with those answers We will struggle the rest of our days but we have good memories of you Jenny. Your laugh and even your anger!
Love you and Miss you!

Eleven years ago at this time it was a Monday like any other but ended as the worst day in our family's life! Eleven years has done little to heal our broken hearts. So many regrets, so many lost chances!
On the upside you have two nieces and two nephews who I see glimpses of you and your personality! You would have loved them all just like you loved Paityn!
So much has changed. I was driving this last week looking at what has opened and closed and been built or moved since 2003.
Just know Jenny that I miss you and love you and I will do my best to honor your memories always! Your laugh, your smile, your love of kitties and your love of family!!
I have a new kitty, a little boy named Dennis. He is so sweet and "bad"! Just like you love them. He gives Charlie a hard time but I think it helps Charlie stay young.
Xxxoooo
Love you forever Jenny!

Happy Birthday Jenny! You would be 37 years old today but instead you are 28 forever! I still remember the day you were born in Roanoke VA. Your dad and I were so excited for you to be born. I am sorry we let you down. If only I could go back to that time and have a do-over. I would do anything to be celebrating your birthday with you today! You would probably have new places you love and wanted to go to but I am left with knowing what your favorites were before you left us. I will do "something" in your honor today alone. No one wants to feel my pain and see my sorrow. I will always love you and miss you every day of my life!
I still remember the first birthday you were gone. It was an ice storm that day. We put messages on our ballons and went to the lake and sent them off to the sky only they fell in the lake and looked like a colored boat parade. The weather is not much better today.
Love you Forever!

Hey Bestie! As time has gone by I thought I was supposed to "move on" as they say... But I can't. You can never be replaced and I will never have another "Bestie." I miss you and love you more and more everyday. I miss seeing the Family and am going to change that real soon. You are in my heart and my thoughts always! I love you!

Hi Jenny,
Back at The Salvation Army! Feels so good and yet strange. So many good times when you were there. Running in the gym, working out, counting money at Christmas and picking up Angel Tree toys. The good days for sure. I sat in the Chapel yesterday remembering your memorial service and all your friends and family who came to say goodbye! I was in shock at the time but now I understand the hole in heart that you used to fill with your love!! Miss you forever!

Uhm, I am shocked and saddened to hear the news of Jenny's passing. I had no idea and I feel very guilty about that since this family has helped me so much earlier in my life.
Becky, my deepest sympathies go out to you, Jeff, Chris, and the rest of your family. In the short time we were all together I got an opportunity to see how close all of you are. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel terrible. If there is ever anything I can do for any of you in Jenny's remembrance or otherwise, please do not hesitate to contact me. God bless you all.
June 18, 2012
Today Becky's sister-in-law called wanting your address to invite you to the bridal shower. I was frozen and she knew she said the wrong person. I finally after what seemed like minutes but was only seconds told her she meant Jeff's sister-in-law. I cried after I hung up wishing you were here to go with me and see your older brother get married!
Love you Jenny!

Happy Birthday Jenny! 9 birthdays without you...how is that possible. I think of you everyday and miss you being here with me. Everytime I am with the grandkids I think of how sad it is that they will not know their Aunt Jenny! Paityn still remembers you and thinks about you! No Krispy Kreme today! Maybe next year. But I will be thinking of you and wishing you were here to go to dinnger at Longhorn!
Love you forever!

Look through your tears of sadness and look out for a smile,
I'd like to see you happy, if only for a while.
I'd like to see your sad days turned into something bright,
you can use me as your guardian to make this world seem right.
I know it can be difficult and everything seems wrong,
but hold your head above it all, I will gladly help you along,
for every hour I see you crying, it’s an hour that I'm left sad,
for every hour I see you laughing , it’s an hour that I feel glad.
Don’t hold onto the yesterdays, today is a brand new day,
and the tap you feel on your shoulder is me to guide you on your way

Hi Jenny,
So now Smokey has joined you and her sister Chocs. It is so sad to let them all go. I remember how much you loved the girls! You always thought I treated Maggie better...so when I was taking care of them their last year when they were sick I made sure I loved them and took care so you would be proud of me.
love you Jenny

Hi Jenny,
Yesterday was your birthday! For the first time since you have been gone I did not send up balloons or have dinner in your honor! But as always I did remember you and the day you were born! I wanted you so much Jenny and I loved you before you were placed in my arms. You were always special! I see you in the grandbabies....they help soften the sadness I feel for your loss but nothing will ever take it away! I will always miss you and love you just as much as the day you were born.

Hi Jenny,
Yesterday I was shopping at Giant Eagle and I realized I was singing out loud...which I have not done since you have been gone. It made me start crying cause I could hear you say "woman stop singing you are embarassing me!" I miss our times together so much Jenny!
love you,

Hi Jenny,
Well your curio cabinet is set up again. Jenn does such a nice job taking care of it.
As she was telling me she finished putting all your things into it, I was thinking about all the times you and I moved that cabinet by ourselves!! It made me smile and laugh to myself. The most fun was when we moved it Crosby to hmmm can't remember that street but I remember us just putting it down so we could laugh at ourselves. That thing was heavy!
We had so many wonderful times. I try to think of them often and not the end. I define by who you were for 28 years not the last week. You will always be in my memories the sweet funny intense daughter that I love and miss so much!
Love you forever,
mom

Hi Jenny, Spent the day with Lauren. We went shopping and to the movies. You were on my mind so much it hurt! It hurts my heart all the time that you aren't here with us. You promised to help me raise Lauren- You were and still are her God Mother. We talk about you all the time... I cry and Lauren tells me it's gonna be alright and that you wouldn't want me to cry anymore. Jenny you would be so proud of her. She is truely amazing. I think a part of you went into her when you left us. She takes good care of her Momma for you. It still doesn't take any of the pain away. Nov and Dec are the worst times of the year for me. And of course every Sunday morning when you don't show up for Dunkin Doughnuts coffee with me. I would give anything to have you back. It hurts to revisit memories, the problem is that all the memories I have include you. So, how do I do it without crying all the time. I need you! I always did. I wish I could just see you one more time to tell you how much I love you. Help me remember the times we had and to smile... I thought I would be by now, but I just don't think I ever will. I loved you that much!!! Love you always! Kris

Hi Jenny, today at work your mom brought in your favorite Krispy Creme donuts and coffee. She does this every year, delicious! I remember seeing you at past Christmas Auctions with your mom, wish I would have gotten to know you. Your mom and family are so kind, caring, and loveable. Your nieces and nephew are adorable! I love working with your mom.

Hey Jenny. It's been a LONG time now, but seems like yesterday sometimes that you left this world. Two new babies later and I know you're still smiling down! Keep your eye on our little Elli...she's quite a little handful. She waves up at the ceiling every morning, and Chris says she's waving hello to you! Maybe he's right, it sure wouldn't surprise me. We love you and miss you so much, much more in some ways now that we have our little baby girl! You and her would have gotten along great....both with a whole lot of ATTITUDE! LOL!
I know you know already, but your Tiny Man isn't doing too hot. He's coming home to you soon, so I hope you have a place ready for him. I think he's finally tired of living here with us and wants his Mommy.
We all love and miss you and you will be here in our hearts forever.

Dear Becky,
You've been on my mind so much this month. I can't believe it's been 7 years since Jenny left. It's so bittersweet to watch our lives go on, unable to share the joys of life with them. I know your Jenny is looking down on you today and sprinkling an extra generous dusting of love over you and her entire family she left behind. Praying for you to have a peaceful day today and a special family celebration tomorrow as you hold her close in your hearts.
Love, Nancy

Well Jenny it is November...can't believe this will be your 7th memorial date! Miss you so much! Think of you always especially with the babies cause I know you would have been such a great Aunt and they would love you so much! Paityn still thinks of you at times...hard to believe she was only two with you left and now she is going to be nine next year. Jeff, Chris and Jenn are doing well. And Becky is such a nice girl she is good for Jeff and a good mom to Issac. Been wearing my tee shirt with your picture on it...my way of keeping you close this month.

Hi Jenny,
So much has happened mostly good except we had to let Chocs go...she had gotten so weak...we truly miss her sadly. The babies are growin up so fast.... both a year old now. Every time I hug them I think of you and how much you would love them and be the bestest Aunt ever!!
I just took Paityn home and she is really growing up. 9 years old now how can that be? She was telling me she had kept a shot glass from NM...and I told her about your shot glass collection at Aunt Jenn and Uncle Chris's house. I asked her if she tought that was weird that we continue to add to your collection and she "no not at all".
We all miss you Jenny!

Hi Jenny, I wrote the other day but it never showed up. Was on my way to Paityn's 9th birthday party which always makes me miss you and think of you more! It was good but sad you are not there to see the new babies...you would love them...I daydream about you seeing them sometimes. And Paityn still remembers you but the memories are fading now...makes me sad. You love her so much.
Tomorrow is your Birthday! I will be thinking of you and wishing we were going out to dinner to celebrate for you!

Hi Jenny,
I was driving by NNA and they are gone. I knew they had sold the building but it was so strange to see Children's Hospital sign on it today. I went online and found their new building on White Pond Drive...it is very nice and large. I am sure you would have loved to be in the new building. Sad to know NNA is so different in just the 6 years you have been gone. Not many of the same doctors...now a new building! Everything keeps moving forward except my memories of you Jenny! Missing you as always. Had lunch with Brenda...almost her brother's memorial date... Bruce left us March 12 2004.
I know he is not your type but hoping you are friends!
love you

Jenny,
It is so very obvious how very much you were and still are loved by your moma. She misses you more than you will ever know! I know this because I too miss my son who left us in Oct. of "08". We will never forget you, how could we?!! We can't for our children are always in our hearts, and you will never really die. Our love continues for our children even in death.
Rebecca, there is a song out there by Kenny Chesney called "Who you'd be today". It is beautiful, hope you can listen to it, maybe on youtube.
Thinking of you today Rebecca. Please feel free to contact me through my email anytime.
Take care, much love and many blessings to you.

My love and prayers are for you all and with you. It is so very hard to lose a child, especially to suicide!!! Yes, we will always long for and miss them...won't we rebecca??? It has been almost 16 months since my Nick, Nick left us, and I still cry daily. I am remembering more joyful times though, because in the beginning it was so hard to being overwhelmed with grief and pain of all sorts.
You may contact me directly if you like Rebecca.
Much love and Peace to you all.

So I let Jenn pick out the ornament this year. Her and Elli were with me. I am going to order the one I found the other day online for next year...that way I will not be looking on Christmas Eve. I miss you being with us everyday but the holidays bring an extra sadness! It's hard for others to understand that little empy place inside of me wishing you were here with me always.
love you forever,

Hi Jenny,
I have been thinking about you and the days before you left us. You would think I could be done with the woulda shoulda couldas but they still return especially this time of year. We all miss you so much! I truly believe if you had realized how much you would be missed and how much we all loved you and need you that you would still be here today! That you would be sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with us. That you would be loving these two new babies and Paityn. 6 years ago this week you were still here with us...talking to us. If we only could have known the pain you were feeling that week.
love you Jenny!

Feeling sad which is sad in itself because I have so much to be happy about with your new nephew and neice! Three beautiful grandchildren but I miss that you are not here to share in our happiness! Had dinner at Longhorn tonight "our" favorite. Always remembering my last birthday there with you. Walking on Sunday for Suicide Prevention. Haven't been able to raise much money this time. I guess people are just struggling these days. I will do my best in your memory as always.
love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Getting ready for my trip to MN. I hope to have a great time. Thinking about you today....yeah so what's new. Trying to collect money for the walk for Suicide Prevention but it is not going as well as the first year I did it in your memory! People want to forget and they don't think it could possibly happen to anyone in their family. But I will keep trying until the day I walk in your memory Jenny.
Love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Getting ready to go the Hartville Flea Market with Jenn, Becky, Elli and Issac. The only thing that would make today a better day is you going with us. That's the hardest part of you being gone is all the missed memories and moments we could have shared! A day doesn't go by that I do not think of you and how much I love you and miss you!
I will kiss the babies for their Aunt Jenny!
love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Uggg I went to view a movie targeting teens on suicide. Didn't think it would give me trouble to see it. Teens from Miller South did the acting. Maybe it started with seeing Miller South...then the anger...then the girl was missing taking me back to that dreadful day when you were "missing" and I found you with your brother. Only you didn't go home and I didn't even get to talk to you one last time.... Will this pain ever lighten??
I did spend the rest of the day with your precious new neice Elliot Rebecca...she did lift my spirits. She is beautiful....I know you would have been so excited to be a part of her life. And that little boy Issac what a sweet boy.
We are Blessed and I need to remember that but it is still so hard to have lost you Jenny....you will always be in my Heart and my Memories....
miss you

Hi Jenny,
Well Elliot Rebecca was born today at 7:09 pm. She is beautiful of course. Seeing Chris cut the cord was amazing. I think they are going to be such good parents. She looks a bit like Issac Jeffrey....wish you were here with these beautiful babies Jenny...know you would love them so much! Paityn can't wait to see her new counsin. We would be so close to be a complete family if you were here with us Jenny. But their presence is bring hope to our growing family Jenny. I miss you so much......
love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Well you new neice is due this week. Elliot Marie will make an appearance one way or another by Saturday. It's going to be so much fun watching Chris and Jenn be new parents. They are such good people Jenny. I know it's hard to imagine Chris a dad....he is going to love that little girl so much.
And that Issac he is such a beautiful content little boy and his sister loves him so much!!!!!! I think it helps her knowing she has a brother now even though her parents are not together.
I miss you Jenny...every smile on Issac and paityn's face reminds me of you.
love you

Hi Jenny,
I am giving the microwave away that you gave me for my birthday back in 2002. It's hard to let go! But I am giving to one of Jeff's friends so I am hoping she will get lots of use out of it. Then when it is done I won't have to be the one to throw away. A method to my madness!
Missed at Jenn's baby shower yesterday. Knowing you would not have missed it for nothing in the world. And Issac made an appearance. He is so sweet. Issac and Elliot will be like twin cousins. Wow!
I know they will bring much hapinsess to our family. Much needed happiness but we will always feel a sadness for loss jenny. Nothing can replace how we all love you so much!
love you forever,

Ahhh Jenny,
I heard some sad news today about someone you cared about. I know you would be sad to know how your death affected so many. You were so low you thought you were doing us all a favor and unfortunately you were so wrong. Any of us would have done anything to help you through your bad times Jenny. I only pray you have found Peace! Miss you so much Jenny! Love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Was thinking of you today as your first nephew was born into this world. Thinking how proud and happy you would be to hold him and love him and his precious sister Paityn. Next you will have another precious neice and again I will be thinking of you as she comes into this world without their Aunt.
love you Jenny!

Hi Jenny,
Another Mother's Day....love the boys but it's always sad knowing I am a motherless daughter and daughterless mother. Just doesn't seem fair. I know you would have stayed if you could...but it doesn't make my sadness any easier. Love you Jenny.

Jenny,
I was out planting flowers in the big green plantar and I was remembering Winter. Remember how those begonia's grew so tall in there and Winter would lay right in the middle of them. :) He was such a crazy cat. I hope you have him with you....must be awfully crowded in Heaven with all your precious pets. We miss you Jenny!
love you forever!

Hi Jenny,
Another Mother's Day Luncheon without you! Makes me sad. Jenn wouldn't polish my toe nails and I thought my Jenny would have but you would have made fun while you did it but I would love to hear you making fun of me again. I also caught myself thinking this morning I wonder if Jenny would do my hair today...oh yeah Jenny's not here to do my hair. Love you so much!!
Miss you,

Hi Jenny,
Well I am going to try the panel thing again. Hopefully I will be a bit stronger and be able to share your story to help others without crying so much. Fat chance of that huh?

Today your mom brought us your favorite coffee....it meant the world to us for her to share that. Sometimes she may question how much her co-workers and I adore her. Sometimes we give her a hard time, but from what I know about you, you might have joined in the teasing with us. Your mom is awesome and I am glad we were able to celebrate you today!

Hi Jenny,
Sitting here working drinking your favorite Krispy Kreme coffee! I will always remember how everyone there knew just how you wanted your coffee. Even if I went alone when I said 2 sugar and lots and lots of cream they knew it was for you. Did you get the balloons I sent this morning from Summit Lake? Of course when I go alone the weather is beautiful not like that first year when there was an ice storm and all the ballons went into the water and looked like little color boats racing across the lake. Today the balloons went straight up dancing in the sky as I watched them disappear into the clouds. My co workers gave me flowers and a card that looked like the balloon I sent this morning. Hoping to have a peaceful day remembering always how much I love you and miss you Jenny!
love you,

Hi Jenny
Feeling sad you will not be here to celebrate your birthday tomorrow. You loved your birthday so much. I was thinking back to this day 34 years ago. Your dad and I were so excited to know you were finally going to be born. Your birth in other ways was not pleasant but you came out so precious so tiny with your little bald head. And 10 days later we moved back to Ohio. Missing you!
love you forever,
mom
